The traditional Night of the Cats for the whole family will take place on Saturday, 19 September 2026<\/strong>, and will be dedicated to wild cats in need of conservation! Admission to Night of the Cats is with a separate event ticket. The event ticket grants access to the zoo from 4 pm onwards, and the last admission to the event is at 9 pm. The zoo closes at 11 pm. The event raises funds for the conservation of wild Pallas\u2019s cats, and there will be plenty of programme and activities for the whole family.<\/em>

On event evening, from 4:00 pm onwards, admission to Korkeasaari is only possible with an event ticket purchased for that particular day. The event ticket does not include the waterbus fare. Tickets are also available for purchase on board, but we recommend buying your ticket in advance from our online shop, where you can also reserve a seat on your preferred outbound departure (the reservation is valid as long as you arrive at the Market Square departure pier 15 minutes before the vessel\u2019s scheduled departure time)<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

For the return journey, passengers are boarded on a first-come, first-served basis, and seats cannot be reserved. However, two vessels with a capacity of more than 200 passengers each operate on the route every 30 minutes, so there is ample space on board.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Both of our vessels operating on the Korkeasaari route have cosy caf\u00e9s on board, where you can enjoy a hot \u201cManulikaakao\u201d (Pallas\u2019s Cat\u00b4s Hot Chocolate) during your sea journey, along with pastries, sparkling drinks and other treats! The adult version of the hot chocolate is even spiked with “catnip” (Koskenkorva Mint). For every Manulikaakao sold, we donate 1\u20ac to the conservation of Pallas\u2019s cats.<\/p>\n
